lucky charms chocolate cookies
I’ve always had a soft spot for whimsical treats, and these Lucky Charms Chocolate Cookies are my latest obsession. The idea struck me one day when I was munching on a bowl of cereal, wondering how I could turn those colorful marshmallows into a decadent dessert. With a rich chocolate base and a sprinkle of magic, these cookies became my new favorite way to celebrate life’s little joys.
Ingredients
-
- 1 cup softened butter (or margarine)
-
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
-
- 3/4 cup (150 g) packed brown sugar
-
- 2 large eggs
-
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
-
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
-
- 1 1/4 cups (125 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
-
- 1 3/4 cups (219 g) all-purpose flour
-
- 1 cup (170 g) white chocolate chunks
-
- 1 cup Lucky Charms marshmallows
- Topping: a few more Lucky Charms & flaky salt
Instructions
I start by preheating my oven to 350 degrees F and lining two baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats—my setup’s ready. In a large bowl, I cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium-high for 3-5 minutes until it’s light and fluffy. I stop a few times to scrape the sides with a spatula, keeping it all smooth.
Next, I add the eggs one at a time, mixing on medium-high until they’re fully in, then toss in the vanilla and mix again. In another bowl, I whisk the baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, and flour together, then slowly add them to the wet mix on low speed. I scrape the sides once or twice, stopping when it’s just combined—streaks of flour are okay.
I fold in the white chocolate chunks and Lucky Charms marshmallows on low, then use my spatula to make sure everything’s even. I scoop the dough into 60-75g balls with my hands, flattening them slightly if I want a flatter top, and press a few extra marshmallows on for looks. They hit the oven for 9-11 minutes—middle still soft is my cue to pull them out.
Right out of the oven, I sprinkle on flaky salt so it sticks, then let them cool on the sheets for 5-10 minutes before moving to a rack. They’re ready to enjoy, and I store extras in an airtight container or freeze them for later. It’s a process I’ve got down pat, and it’s worth every second.
